not sure how I missed this, but now I'm up to speed, can only echo everyone elses' comments and praise.
Fantastically well done on all levels. Brilliant.

Thank you for the kind comments!  
@Harrocks--welcome aboard!

An Ambush in Al Haikk
The Nomads are the highest rated warband thanks to Drenok returning a favor.  The sword has gone from double-edged to rammed through a Nomad chest, but we struggle on.  

No good deed goes unpunished...

Deciding to use the dhow, means there is no escape toward the harbor...Except to fight the Turjuks, which is sort of like kicking a puppy. (A grumpy puppy armed with pointy sticks and Ballistic Skill 5...)

The Nomads hold out!  Game ends.  The Nomads hold 7 treasures.  The Turjuk stole 3 from the Djinni Binder.  The Cult took one from Al Bobo.  Nomads win!  

The Cult may have lost something henchmanish. The Winged Terror suffers a Leg Wound!

The Turjuk may have also lost something henchmanish, likely a townsman.

The Nomads win!  Daoud is killed.  He was the only surviving original henchman.  Drenok suffers madness. Al Bobo gains horrible scars and the Djinni Binder fully recovers for once.

This will be the last report for May as vacations and work are getting in the way of gaming.  We shall return anon.

Tales of the Arabyan Nights--The Manslayer at the Oasis

For once RL meant that I could play a game on Thursday, so we get one more game in in May!

And Kevin was able to rejoin the group with a brand new Lizardman warband.

The warbands met at a distant oasis. It was rumored that a rich caravan had been lost nearby, perhaps survivors managed to find the oasis. If so their bones are buried by the shifting sand, but glittering treasures still litter the area.

The search for a lost oasis ringed with riches happened at night as the Lizards and Cultists were wary of the Turjuk arrows. The Nomads had come prepared with a torch. Sheik Shufti loots the first treasure

Achmed and Babiars take the high ground. (They could see nothing in the dark, but I was hopeful that the Djinni Binder would live long enough to illuminate some targets...

The Manslayer at the Oasis is an adaptation of the Lustria scenario, Secrets of the Bujuentae. I added all sorts of special rules, which we promptly forgot in the heat of battle.

The Nomads fled first with only one treasure recovered. No Nomads were ever possessed as the spirit focused on the cold blooded Lizards and the Turjuk. Still the Nomads were remarkably squishy in melee combat. Arim IV is killed by the Cult. Yegu II the Nomad Scout was killed by a possessed Turjuk warrior. Drenok Johansen suffered an arm wound. He has served for 3 battles with the Nomads to repay them for saving Drenok from crucifixion. The Nomads bid Drenok goodbye and good luck. The Nomads flee the desert and return to Al Haikk to trade.

The Turjuk had avoided the Manslayer's attention until late in the game, then it all kind of fell apart and the Turjuk flee. No one dies for the third or forth game in a row. A record for Jim L's warbands. The Turjuk also return to Al Haikk to trade, but cannot find a warhound for their Emir. The Turjuk loot four treasures from the oasis.

The Cult may have fled before the Turjuk. The Winged Terror, A Mutant and Gagnor were out of action as well as a Beastman and a Brethren. The Beastman was killed by Gagnor. The Cult loot three treasures from the oasis. They trade with the Cheating Merchant.

The Knight Panther survived the attention of 5 of the Cult's warriors. He sent the Mutant out of action. The Cult was intending to put the stunned Knight out of action when they failed a rout test.

The Lizards from the Southland win their first game! They do this by avoiding combat with any other warband for most of the battle. They looted no treasure (the Turjuks got there first.) They do gain +4 underdog bonus. Even though the Lizards win, they end up trading at the Cheating Merchant.

One of the problems I have had with gaming is a disinterest in winning or losing; it has always been how the game looks that make it a success. The is a WONDERFULLY successful game in my opinion. The new Lizard Lads are BEAUTIFUL creations & work well with the other painted treasures. The terrain is GORGEOUS. GREAT STUFF! thumbsup

Tales of the Arabyan Nights--Daemon Rum

I have had RL happening for the last couple of weeks. Chris was out of town, Kevin had to work again... This week Chris and Jim L met in Al Haikk's Thieves Quarter.  The brutal Killer Kult is still the lower rated warband and despite an attempt on my part to suggest a 'neutral' scenario, the players insisted on rolling for a random result... Suspect

Last Orders in the Thieves Quarter
The Turjuk learn the pitfalls of Daemon Rum...

The Turjuks were totally thrashed in 2 straight bar fights.  This is the recorded version of the second, in which a brawl breaks out on the stair between the second and third levels of the Horse and Two Hippos. (The first is lost to posterity, which is likely just as well...)

Chris lost a henchman or two, I lost no one, but I had a hero miss 3 games after the 1st battle.
Chris easily, EASILY won both games.
(Well, all 3 really)

They lost the game, but the Turjuks are a BEAUTIFULLY painted band of unfortunates. GREAT STUFF! thumbsup

Thanks Al! The Turjuks are indeed well painted, though Jim L is apparently running out of Arabyan models as I see some Empire showing up...

Tales of the Arabyan Nights--The Ruins of Bel Alaid

Warhammer Wiki wrote:
Bel-Aliad -In its prime, Bel-Aliad was one of the ancient cities of Nehekhara, where it was famed as the City of Spices. During the wars against Nagash, it was left in ruins and eventually resettled. It is currently in ruins and devoured by the desert sand. It was once the capital of a proud Arabyan civilisation, until it was destroyed by the Undead forces of Arkhan the Black -1149 IC. It is said that within these ruins priceless treasures are hidden, although few adventurers return to verify the story

The Lost Princ[ess]

And so it came to pass that the warbands thought that they were going to Bel Alaid to rescue a nomad's daughter from the clutches of a cruel necromancer (I looked at the 2 player scenarios after I rolled a 10. Unaccustomed as I was to being the low warband, I botched my first chance in weeks to roll for a scenario.)  Instead the Turjuk, Nomads and Killer Kult were searching for the lost princess Jasmin.  Hours earlier the Princess had wandered away from her expedition, by now she could be anywhere in the ruins. (Instead of stopping and setting up new terrain, we just moved the tomb the necromancer had been hiding in a bit...)

The Turjuk reach the center of the ruins first.  Jasmin is exploring the ruined pyramid out of sight...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854902b414c00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Right there... fatefully the Turjuk's Emir has ridden to the spot with the narrowest field of fire available to him
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce98549028c07f00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Nomads are approaching from the south.  They can see Jasmin, they just won't reach her in time...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854902ac07d00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

And Shufti and all of the Nomads' missile troops decide to threaten the Killer Kult's flank
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854902d414a00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Killer Kult does some threatening of their own...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854902cc07b00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Two townsmen take a brethren out of action.  Poor townsmen...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854902f414800000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

But there is a rustling, scuttling sort of sound behind the Turjuk Emir.  The ruins are alive
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce98549020c07700000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

A mounted Turjuk hero 'rescues' Jasmin.  The rest of the Turjuk mill around uncertainly...(Actually many of them are failing to hit or wound Kultists with missile weapons)

As battle rages, Jasmin explores the alley between the pyramid and the ruined temple... (Her friends the Turjuk said they would be right back...)

The Djinni Binder falls to a Mutant
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce98549049412e00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Fortunately, for the Nomads, the Turjuk inflicted some damage before they fled.  The Killer Kult fail a rout test! The Nomads control the field!

But alas, Jasmin was overwhelmed by tomb beetles.  There is no one to rescue, no triumphant return to Al Haikk.  The Nomads vaunted knowledge of the desert fails them and they become lost in the maze of ruins.

The Turjuk fled first.  The mamluk known as Barbara was killed by the Winged Terror.  In addition a townsman known only as Boules’ friend was killed in the first charge.  The Turjuk trade with Nomads at the Well.

The Killer Kult lose a Brethren known as Speed Bump III. There is no mourning for minions in the Kult. They trade with a Cheating Merchant.

The Nomads lose no one!  Mir Sher misses a game with a smashed leg.  The Djinni Binder wins a Pit Fight!

The Tower of the Manslayer

The Turjuk, Nomads and The Killer Kult attempt to raid a haunted tower in the ruins...

The Turjuks ride in and claim treasures
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854904ac01d00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Kult swarm toward the remaining treasure
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854904d412a00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Djinni Binder is possessed by the murderous spirit and attacks Babiars!
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854904b412c00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The vengeful spirit inflicts 2 wounds on Babiars! (He has 3).  The Djinni Binder throws off the spirit, but falls out of action as the spirit leaves his body...

The Turjuk decide to threaten the Nomads
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854904cc01b00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

And grab the only treasure close to the Nomads...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854904f412800000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Ghostly Beasts appear in the Turjuk flank
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854904ec01900000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Since both Arabyan warbands are lower rated than the evil Killer Kult, the battle is taking place on a nice desert day... Until the wind comes up.  High winds start the sand moving, -2 to shooting...

The Arabyans clash
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce98549041412600000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce98549043412400000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

A possessed Nomad chases the cowardly brethren! (The vengeful spirit may possess a number of warriors equal to the number of warriors put out of action by possessed warriors. At this point in the game, that would be 3.)
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854905b413c00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Achmed is also possessed!  He falls upon poor Kemba...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d801b3127cce9854905d413a00000010100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Turjuk fled first.  They kept 2 treasures.  One was a fake.
Jim L wrote:
Barbara II died in her first battle. :-(
Maxed out veteran Mamluk Rashad died.  
Faisal II was killed by the Possessed Hassan (although his horse lived).

Traded at the Cheating Merchant. Replaced both henchmen at +25% cost again.
Cannot replace hero yet. [The Merchant has no heroes for hire.]

Hassan the Askar became Frenzied.
Akhtar the Scholar must miss one game but did find Secret L* (which is awesome).
Warband rating went down below my start of the night.

*The Turjuks will be joined by Drenok Johansen soon.

The Nomads fled with no treasure. Once again no one died!  The Djinni Binder fully recovers.  The Nomads find a Cheating Merchant to trade with.  The Nomads do gain +1 underdog bonus.

The Killer Kult win! The Kult lost one minion. They looted 3 treasures, of which only one was fake.  The Kult join the rest of the warbands in trading with the Cheating Merchant.

Tales of the Arabyan Nights--Death in the Thieves Quarter
I was in South Dakota last week.  Jim L and Chris kept the campaign going (and the Turjuk blood flowing...)

The Long Pier
During a daylight stroll along Smuggler's Wharf the Turjuk run into the Killer Kult...

Jim L wrote:

My Scholar, Akhtar, is missing a game. Also I am short Faisal, who died last game, due to the Cheating Merchant not having heroes for hire.

The special campaign rule Crowd is in effect.  So there is an invisible crowd of fishermen, sailors, dockworkers and the like milling about on the pier.

The Kult sees 5” in the crowd, moves toward the Turjuk

Kult sees 11” in the crowd, moves forward

Turjuk see 4”, move forward. Barbara III runs-slips-falls in water!

Kult see 11”, moves forward. Kult shoots: nothing hurt, but crowd stampedes for the next 2 turns!

Turjuk can see  8”. I roll Random Event 16! I find Secret I: mumlak-crossbowman-Khann finds a horse (that looks like a camel), 2 are knocked down,  Townsman (red coat) charges Purple Prince, Townsman with 2 daggers (off-white shirt) charges beastman, shooting does nothing.  Possessed stuns Townsman.  Beastman loses a wound, but it takes out the townsman. Jawhar II (on Arabian steed) charges other beastman on left.  Maybe left beastman loses a wound? [Looks like it goes OoA]
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d809b3127cce9854901984df00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Kult moves, a couple fall down. Purple Prince charges Askar Hassan- Hassan goes OOA. Magister charges my downed townsman who goes OOA. Mutant on left charges in to help beastman.

Turjuk turn: Townsman on left charges mutant, I shoot a lot to no real effect.

Kult turn:Winged Terror charges Townsman on left –Townsman goes OOA.

Purple Prince takes a Mamluk OOA.

Jawhar II is stunned! His Arabyan Steed bolts toward my board edge.

With 6 or 7 OOA inclunding 2 heroes, I rout

Mamluk Ismail III died again

2 Townsmen die.

The Kult report no deaths, though a couple minions did go out of action at least...

Thank you for taking the time to comment gents!
@Al--I did indeed, thank you.
@Codsticker--I still have no idea who makes those. I do know that they also make wharf sections that are 12"x12" or so.  Of which Jim L has several, but he doesn't bring all of what he has each game night.  Those would have worked really well for this scenario.

Turjuk heroes ride toward 2 drunks, one on left one on right of bar.  Both are 'easy' drunks (they submit to capture without a fight).

Then the Kult goes after 2 drunks on rooftop of the bar with the Purple Prince and a mutant (even though they are different models, I can never tell the mutants apart). Mutant gets hers then has to go help Possessed.

2 Turjuk warriors try. One fails to go after drunk on balcony (but the guy with I2 makes the climb!).

Turjuk rout with 4 still standing.  (Only 1 hero left.)

Jamal II gets another initiative injury, now at I1!

Akhtar the Scholar gets an initiative injury, now at I4.

Mamluk Khann died (and lost his crossbow...)

Mam(no)luk Barbara III died.

The Killer Kult report no deaths. (Again a few of them were at least out of action.)

Tales of the Arabyan Nights--The Pools of Despair

Kevin stopped by to let us know he was still around and employed.  Then he left for work.  The three of us slogged on.

The Lost Caravan
The warbands stumble upon the loose camels and discarded treasure of a caravan scattered by a raid or a storm.  Obviously there were high winds involved because somehow a treasure has been swept up onto an inaccessible spire of rock...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490ee4d5200000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

There were 4 treasures and 3 loose pack camels in the area.  The Nomads grabbed the west edge of the table.  It seemed like a good idea at the time...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490e1cc6d00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The east edge had more treasure available, maybe I was looking for a quick camel to capture.  The Killer Kult have 2 quick treasures in their cold cruel claws
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490e04d5c00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The first thing that happens is an event! A stealthy Crimashin Assassin attacks the Winged Terror.  That was over quick... The Killer Kults' Possessed both have lightning reflexes.  Joy.
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490ec4d5000000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The human with 2 daggers is all that remains of the Turjuk attack.  Mad Hassan and a townsman have fallen already.
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490e3cc6f00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

A happy steed runs through the Turjuk lines.
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490e24d5e00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

His rider lies senseless on the sands.  In a moment that camel is going to trample the Mamluk who looks like Al Bobo...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490e44d5800000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Scholar and Drenok try to save the downed Askar.  Drenok (the Wolf Priest of Ulric model) kills a brethren. The Scholar stuns one of the mutants.
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490e5cc6900000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

There are lots of Killer Kult around Drenok

The Nomads hid behind rocks and loose camels to avoid Turjuk arrows. (Nomad arrows are responsible for the downed Turjuk hero...)
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490f9cc7500000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490fc4d4000000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Woe!

The Purple Prince attacks the Djinni Binder (who manages to survive the first round!)  The Nomad warriors with flails do not help because Kahlid has fallen under the Lure of Chaos. Arrgh!
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490ffcc7300000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490fe4d4200000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Dauod II and Mir Sher attack the Beasts!
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490f04d4c00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Doh!
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490f3cc7f00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Nomads flee!

The Turjuk fled first with only 2 heroes not out of action.  At one point in the battle they had captured 2 camels and a treasure.  When they fled they had five models (counting the two heroes).  Drenok Johansen was killed along with the brave townsman Two Daggers.  The Turjuk end up trading with Nomads at the Well. The Turjuk gain +1 underdog bonus.

The Nomads fled before Mir Sher could be taken out of action. Arim V was killed by the Purple Prince.  The Djinni Binder becomes Hardened.  The Nomads capture one camel and one treasure.  The Nomads find an oasis with a handy, well stocked caravan to trade with. The Nomads gain +2 underdog bonus.

The Killer Kult lose one brethren killed.  No heroes go out of action, despite repeated attempts to shoot, stab or magic them there.  The Kult return to Al Haikk with 3 treasures.  One camel was killed and one ran off.

Gotta go...  Coming soon Capture the Oasis

Capture the Oasis
The horses sense water ahead.  Cheered, the men stumble on through the rocky desert toward the distant band of green.  Then just when the water is in sight, their enemies emerge from the rocks...

The Nomads, Turjuk and Killer Kult battle over the life giving waters of one of the Pools of Despair.  So named perhaps because the men of Araby know that they will be driven from the field long before any man will taste of the cool waters of the oasis...

Once again Jim L won the roll to take the first turn, then rolled an event on his first die roll.  Wild horses appear, stampeding from the desert to the west.  
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490f24d4e00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Instead of driving the herd toward the waiting Nomads, the Turjuk allow the horses to pass in through them...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490f5cc7900000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Killer Kult send a few henchmen to deal with the Turjuk

Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce98549009cc8500000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Turjuk give up on the scenario. Their heroes begin to withdraw after capturing most of the horse herd
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490f7cc7b00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Meanwhile the Nomads bleed.  Here brave, doomed Daoud II charges into the mass of brethren.  He got one before they swarmed him.
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490f64d4a00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Shemba and Kemba are charged by the Possessed.  They both fell stunned...
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce985490084db400000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Turjuk henchmen form the rear guard
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce9854900bcc8700000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Arim VI faces a mutant
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce9854900a4db600000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Kalid faces the other.  In the distance Babiars is overwhelmed by the Purple Prince (again)!
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce9854900dcc8100000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The rest of the heroes watch in horror
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce9854900c4db000000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Sweet Baboo never even got to fire
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d930b3127cce9854900fcc8300000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Turjuk captured 3 out of the 4 wild horses.  I think another henchman or two died in the massacre of the rear guard.  An attempt to assassinate the Beastman Hero failed (even though the Scholar and the Townsman Hero had like 7 attacks between them...) Both heroes get better eventually.

The Nomads lost Daoud II killed.  Babiars II survives.  The tribe encounters a gazelle in exploration, but fail to bring it down (the Arabyan shooting is miserable, as usual.)  

Both Arabyan warbands are driven into the desert where they wander, lost.

The Killer Kult loses both of its Hired Swords killed (a Pit Fighter and the Red Warlock II).  A nice well stocked caravan joins them at the oasis to trade.  Gitz...  The Purple Prince maxes out his stats in T and W.  Joy!

Tales of the Arabyan Nights--Lost in the Desert and other Laments

The Arabyan warbands were driven into the desert when last we met.  This week the thirsty, tired Arabyans tried to regain civilization to re-equip and recruit.  Naturally they paid a price in blood for the privilege:

The Blood Shrine
The warbands have been drawn to investigate a mysterious shrine located near the Pools of Despair.  The shrine turned out to be one of those obelisks the Dead Ones raised.  It was guarded by 3 stone statues...

Here the Turjuk react to two of the statues attacking the Purple Prince
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d939b3127cce985490bf112600000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Ushabti attack! (with rubber weapons...)

The rest of the Killer Kult's flank leaves them to it
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d939b3127cce985490b0901900000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Essentially, its the Winged Terror versus the Nomads.

OK.  Some of the Kult help his Purpleness finish off the 2 statues.

The glorious charge!
Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d939b3127cce985490cc906500000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d939b3127cce985490c3115a00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Nomads flee!

The undead lancers try to skewer the Winged Terror

Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d939b3127cce985490c5115c00000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

With 4 out of 6 heroes out of action, the Turjuk flee!

The Purple One and his friends mop up the last guardian...

Tales of the Arabyan Nights Part II - Page 2 47a9d939b3127cce985490d9114000000000100AbOXDRkzbMmWA

The Arabyans were a pitiful sight.  The Nomads had 3 heroes able to fight.  Mir Sher and Achmed were too dehydrated to fight.  The Djinn Binder succumbed to 'the Old Wound'.  The Nomad Scout Yegu III is killed by the Red Warlock III.. Arim VI is killed by minions of the darkness.  The Nomads gain +2 underdog bonus and trade at Al Haikk.

The Turjuk lose Faisal III, hacked to death by the Kult. (But his horse lives)  The Turjuk trade with the Cheating Merchant.  (Whom they enrich even more)  The Turjuk gain +3 underdog bonus.

The Killer Kult gain a bit of gold and as much experience as they can from hacking or tearing apart ancient statues and monuments.  Nothing even so much as went out of action...

Coming soon-- The Ancient Battlefield
